So, I am definitely a binge eater/emotional eater. I have suffered physical consequences to this disorder and am working very hard to combat this disease so I can live a healthy and meaningful life without being a prisoner to food.

The hardest part for me is when food calls out to me. The more I try to ignore the food, the louder and more frequent it calls out to me. I feel that the only way to make it stop is to just give in and eat the food, and eat it until I am extremely uncomfortable, and I can eat no more. Only then will the obsession stop. But something else then takes it's place. Guilt, shame, disappointment...failure. And then it hits me. I've completed the lovely binge eating cycle - AGAIN!

Any good interventions out there for the "food calling", "mental obsession" to binge? Is the solution to distract one's self from the "urge", the "compulsion" ? Is there something else?
